what identity does flow run as

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi, 

I have a flow that runs whenever an item is updated in a sharepoint list. Does that flow run with priveleges of the user that published the flow or the priveleges of the user that modified the item?

    Flows run AS the user who's connection was used for the action.

     

    So, if you update a SharePoint list item, the item will show as being updated by the user who was specified in the connection for the Update item action.

     

    This is similar in concept to a SharePoint Designer 2010 style workflow impersonation step.

     

    If this answers your question, please mark your question as Solved.
